Expression and characterization of three new glutathione transferases, an epsilon (AcGSTE2-2), Omega (AcGSTO1-1), and Theta (AcGSTT1-1) from anopheles cracens (Diptera: Culicidae), a major thai malaria vector
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) (E.C.2.5.1.18) are multifunctional enzymes involved in the detoxification of many exogenous and endogenous compounds. This study aimed to characterize several new GSTs from Anopheles cracens, a major Thai malaria vector formerly known as Anopheles dirus. The three rec...
